Ryan is taking over the Ping this week, while Paul treks across Antarctica in search of lost civilizations.
Here’s a tip: if you have holiday mailings to send (or, really, any mailings to send), go during your post office’s extended holiday hours.
We got a notice the other day that our town’s post office would be open until the late afternoon on Saturday and for part of the day on Sunday. I was debating yesterday whether I should try to get to the post office early, or if I should wait until later in the day, hoping that people would not have known about the extended hours. I waited until about 2pm and turns out I made a good choice. I was in and out, six packages mailed, in under five minutes. The postal employee told me that earlier in the day, the post office was crowded beyond belief.
So: hit the post office today (if your local branch is offering extended hours) and mail out any of those packages that are sitting by your door. The experience will be much more pleasant than any other post office experience you’ve ever had.
